I'm thinking you have an opportunity to go for the gold here. Offer to take the cat to the vet. Then explain that he needs to stay indoors with you for a week or so. Cat visit FTW.

Of course the ladies will want the cat back, so mention your burning desire for a homemade italian meal with delicious pie dessert. Arrangements will be made to exchange hostage cat for complete home cooked meal.
